About:
Tamarack Land Cooperative (TLC) provided affordable and equitable access for people and organizations to 40 acres of land in Hovland, Minnesota by managing and maintaining it as a community asset.
My Involvement
I coordinated and managed logistics for the Artist-in-Residence Program, as well as led its branding and web development. Through these efforts, I provided more than 40 artists with affordable solitude and space to deeply explore their artistic practices. The residencies often culminated in public performances that enriched the Hovland community and brought a vibrant influx of people and creative practices to its residents.
Mission Statement
Tamarack Land Cooperative envisions a space of dynamic harmony where a diversity of life shares resources. Together, we seek to enjoy and understand nature, harness cooperative power, provide opportunities for healing and growth, and encourage agency. Through our programming, TLC generates equity and access to land, growing a community of people with the shared values of creativity, resiliency, and accountability.
The Cooperative
TLC is a multi-stakeholder cooperative owned and operated by a group of year-round and seasonal residents on a 40-acre property in Northern MN. The cooperative exists to harness cooperative power to manage, maintain, and improve site infrastructure, enjoy and understand nature through conscious land stewardship, and provide affordable access to land via residencies, hospitality services, and community experiences.
